Publisher's Summary

The biggest science fiction series of the decade comes to an incredible conclusion in the ninth and final novel in James S.A. Corey’s Hugo-award winning space opera that inspired the Prime Original series.

Hugo Award Winner for Best Series

The Laconian Empire has fallen, setting the 1,300 solar systems free from the rule of Winston Duarte. But the ancient enemy that killed the gate builders is awake, and the war against our universe has begun again.

In the dead system of Adro, Elvi Okoye leads a desperate scientific mission to understand what the gate builders were and what destroyed them, even if it means compromising herself and the half-alien children who bear the weight of her investigation. Through the wide-flung systems of humanity, Colonel Aliana Tanaka hunts for Duarte’s missing daughter...and the shattered emperor himself. And on the Rocinante, James Holden and his crew struggle to build a future for humanity out of the shards and ruins of all that has come before.

As nearly unimaginable forces prepare to annihilate all human life, Holden and a group of unlikely allies discover a last, desperate chance to unite all of humanity, with the promise of a vast galactic civilization free from wars, factions, lies, and secrets if they win.

But the price of victory may be worse than the cost of defeat.

Great finale

This series has created a fantastic world building, the humans we know in this story may end but the story isn’t over. Origins or aftermath I’m looking forward to more.

Loved the entire series!

Thank you to the authors and to Jefferson Mays for presenting such an incredible story. I listened to all the books on audible and loved every one. It’s tragic that the series has come to an end. Cheers!

Great saga

This series is indeed one of the best space operas out there. The entire series is both intellectually as well as emotionally engaging, which is rare for most series.
What makes it even better is the performance. Jefferson Mays brings the characters alive - transforms the book into an an amazing experience.

To the future of humanity

By far one of the best books in the series. All of the leftovers are touched on and wrapped up in a satisfying way. This series should be a read to all world leaders and politicians showing the best and worst senerios of humanities future. It's a true pleasure to have listened to this and I will miss the series tremendously.

An amazing ending to one of the greatest ever.

Nothing is left unsaid.
Nothing is left unsettled.
Nothing is easy, nothing is lazy, and everything surpasses expectation to achieve what was hoped.
At the end, all I could say was "Wow".

Jefferson Mays rocks like nobody's business

The entire book series was friggin' amazeballs. But Jefferson Mays' reading of it? Goddamn amazing. Honestly my favourite of all the narrators I've heard on Audible. His subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) intonations and voicings that he gives to the characters brings them to life.

Honestly, I'd give the book series itself a 10/10 for it's writing, world building, and ability to draw me into an expansive (pun intended) universe and its characters. Then I'd give an 11/10 to the narrator who made it come alive.

Would listen to all 9 volumes again and again and again.
